2. Energy Sources and Uses Work - Application of force through a distance. Energy - The capacity to do work. Power - Rate at which work is done or rate of flow of energy. Calorie - Amount of energy necessary to heat 1 gram of water 1 o C. Joule - Amount of work done when a force of 1 newton is exerted over 1 meter (or about 0.238cal). 2

8. How We Use Energy in the US Industry - 37% Residential, commercial buildings - 34% Transportation - 26% About 50% of all the energy in primary fuels is lost – during conversion to more useful forms (2/3 energy of coal lost in combustion), – while being shipped to the site of end use (10% coal energy lost in transmission), or – during use. Natural gas is our most efficient fossil fuel (10% lost during processing & shipping, 75-95% efficient in furnaces). 8

14. Renewable vs Nonrenewable Resources Renewable Animals in the wild Soils Forests Natural fisheries Water Food Alternative fuels – Solar power – Biomass – Hydropower Nonrenewable Fossil fuels – Oil – Coal Ore deposits of metals 14

15. What is a Resource? Source of raw material used by society 15

16. Resource Management Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) is : harvest rate = renewal rate 16

17. IF the Harvest rate > Renewable rate Then the resource can become Nonrenewable 17
